    Broken phone holster

    It worked initially. However, the small plastic piece which locks the phone on to the belt holster broke. Then the holster was not good. Luckily, Otter box has a warranty website. I ordered a replacement set and it will arrive in a few days.

    Flimsy for an Otterbox product. Also, it didn’t have a fold back cover to protect the screen. The packaging gave this covered view therefore customer perception is complete coverage.

      Although we've never aimed to be the lowest price point going, we definitely put forth every effort—from design and materials to manufacturing and post-production testing—to ensure the Defender Series Pro case will be up to the challenge of helping to keep your iPad safe from harm.

      We trust that the case will prove its worth time and again, and our friendly Otters are here if you ever have any questions or concerns. Just give us a ring at 1-855-688-7269 if ever in need, and we'll get right on the case!

    I purchased an ipad, screen protector and this otterbox for my grandson 3rd birthday and within a month the Otterbox was damaged. He dropped it on carpet floors, it cracked and was missing a piece on the edge. Very disappointing.
